Abstract

Vitallium® is a base metal alloy that has been used in dentistry and medicine since 1929. This article will focus on the historical perspectives of Vitallium® and include the dental and medical applications used today. The physical and chemical properties of Vitallium® will be discussed, with particular emphasis on the biocompatibility of the metal. Finally, the future uses of Vitallium® will be examined, as will the potential dangers in fabricating prostheses using this base metal alloy.
